Not filling the tank in the middle of winter would endanger your eviction preceding. 

So, in the name of full transparency, I am a complete novice to real estate development and have learned a massive amount about starting a business, real estate in general and a whole lot more about how cities/counties and government works in the world of zoning and planning.Over the last two years, I've gained some significant traction with several jurisdictions in terms of a tiny house community development and the triumphant return of the "missing middle".

Because the financing is different for buildings with more than 4 units, as you may already know, you can't really use a per-unit price on a 4-unit and extrapolate to a 5 or 6 unit :(Instead of looking for comparable sales, you usually end up having to apply a market cap rate to the net income (NOI) of the property, which appraisers call the "income approach".As for what's a "market cap rate", well that's about as much art vs. science as (in some way) choosing good sales comps are.For a B area of Providence I think you'd be safe using a 5% or 5.5% cap rate, but if it was an A area like the East Side you might want to go with 4% or 4.5%.You should also ask around as I certainly haven't done any market survey of cap rates.

Located in East Nashville, TN and 5 minutes from downtown Nashville.  

Need to paint a rental (it's a decent, midrange kind of property - not a crack house but not a mansion, a standard middle class rental).

This gives you no money for to cover any damage beyond normal wear and tear.If they stop paying rent in the middle of the lease the larger deposit gives you a bigger buffer.I tell them if they have good credit then the deposit is only one months rent.

@Nicole Heasley Looking at a duplex in East Palestine.

It has a great location, it was very close to University of Nebraska Lincoln East Campus, and has a massive, brand new multi million dollar frat house next door.

March, which is right in the middle of this period, is the peak of prices.

Asamoah and learned a lot from that one and I'm currently in the middle of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
